[Donnie] Walsh, who replaced Thomas as the Knicks' president, fired him as coach last week after Thomas went 56-108 as coach, including this season's 23-59 disaster. He has been reassigned as an advisor to the team.

According to the report, there is concern that Thomas, if allowed to have any contact with the team, could either willingly or unwillingly undermine its new coach.

"No, no, no — you're not being fired; you're being reassigned. We still want you as an advisor to the team. Just, uh, don't speak to them. And DEFINITELY don't advise them."

There is absolutely no doubt in my mind that Isiah must have some unbelievable dirt on that organization. My guess is he has some extremely compromising photos of James Dolan. There's no other explanation for why he wouldn't simply be fired and kicked in the ass on his way out the door.

So what my shitty ass team is saying, "Shut the fuck up, and sit there, and collect your fucking pay check."

The Knicks disaster isn't even the worst of it.

Rumor has it that he's going to start making popcorn with potatoes instead of corn. Because potatoes are a more valuable "asset."

This is an awesomely brilliant move. Restricted to the office, Zeke will have little to do other than sexually harass the secretary pool.

And that, my friends, makes for good blogging.

This is like when Costanza was trying to get fired from Play Now and they wanted him to quit.

Isiah's gonna be working out of the basement in a few weeks.

He still gets to double-team interns with Starbury though, right?

… and by glitch I mean that overpaid racist homosexual fuck that ran the Knicks into the ground. The dirt on Dolan and Isaih is they are both pillow biters and Marbury's bitch has pics of them in a 69er.

He's not allowed to talk to the players, but he's got the green light to continue sexually harrassing them.

I just had a mental image of Isiah sexually harassing Zach Randolph. I have issues.
